    Darkness is not an affirmative force. It simply reoccupies the space vacated by the light. This is the Hamilton Corner on American Family Radio. It should be uncomfortable for a believer to live as a hypocrite. Delivery people out of the bondage of mainstream media. And the philosophies of this world. God has called you and me to be his ambassador. Even in this dark moment. Let's not miss our moment. And now the Hamilton Corner. Good evening, everyone. Welcome to the Hamilton Corner here on American Family Radio. I'm your host, Abraham Hamilton, III, and the builder with the corner contingent right across from me, my man 100 grand who's back. Mr. Bobby Rosa is in the building, and in the screening room, produced extraordinaire often imitated, but never duplicated the real J-Mac. Ladies and gentlemen, the real J-Mac is in the building. So that we're ready to rock and roll with today's edition of the program. At this very moment, many of you, if not most of you are making your transition from your part time jobs where you generate an income to your full time jobs, where you cultivate an outcome. And as you do so, I want to remind you to do so with intentionality, understanding the primacy that God places on the family that we've had this recent elections and like many of you, I'm grateful to God for his mercy as I've said and I will continue to say that God was merciful to us, but the Lord bestowed his mercy upon us for a purpose. How will we respond to what has been done? What goes on in your house is still more important than what goes on in the White House. You have the expressed opportunity to engage in eternal matters while simultaneously shaping The quality of the nation that we live in and that we will live in going forward should the Lord Terry By your contribution to our nation That is just a simple reality What goes on in your house is still far more important than what goes on in the White House and We must we must we must Serve the Lord with a clarity and an understanding That is commission should be our life's priority There are lots of other things that we can do.

  2. 2:38

    There are lots of other things that we must do. For those other can do's and must do's should not supplant the command of our Lord and King. While I am, as I said, grateful for the Lord's mercy, I wanna spend some time in the scripture today because it's very easy to misunderstand God's blessings. It's very easy to take the attention from the blesser and focus solely on the blessings as they are presented to us. So as you're making your transition, let today be a day if you have not done so. And I know for many of you, it's a challenge. It's a challenge to make it a habit to exalt the Lord right in your home. The scripture teaches that it's not the church's responsibility to make disciples of our children. That's the responsibility of parents. Churches have a role however, but it is a supportive role to the family. We are to be the first responders, if you will. We are to be the ones that lead out in what happens in our children. And as you've heard me say numerous times, we cannot be disciple-makers without being disciples ourselves. Can't do it. You gotta be a disciple to make a disciple. And so I want to encourage everybody to understand that what happens in your house, what happens in your home shapes the culture shaping in your home must be job number one. And then as you've heard me say, numerous, numerous times living locally, we work outwardly from home base into community, into county, into state, et cetera, but not the opposite way around for too long. We thought that we needed top down engagement. We know everything that's going on in Washington DC. And then we won't even know what's on our children's cell phones. That's a problem.

  3. 4:38

    And I understand that we're all in different stages of life, but regardless of the stage that you're in, if you are a Christ follower as I am, we are mandated by our King to execute his commission. To the word of God we go. Second Chronicles chapter 26. Second Chronicles chapter 26 is where I wanna go. And there's lots of policy things that I'm gonna get to later on, but I just feel compelled to have the conversation we're gonna have today. There's a vital Senate majority leader, secret ballot vote that's gonna take place Wednesday because the turtle, Mitch McConnell, decided to move the date up. So you're gonna have a secret vote for Senate majority leader before the new senators who contributed to the Republican majority being accomplished. They won't even be inaugurated yet. But there's something I believe we have to address before we even get to that. Second Chronicle, Chapter 26. We're going to focus on verses 26, sorry, chapter 26, verses 12 through 20. Many of you may know, some of you who may be new to the program or may not be familiar with this portion of the scripture. King Uzziah is one of the most prosperous kings of Judah in Judas history. You know, you look at the Mount Rushmore, so to speak of Old Testament kings of Israel and Judah, Most Bible expositors will have King David on it, King Solomon, and guess who will be next? King Uzziah. This is the same King Uzziah that Isaiah's prophetic writings begin with. In the year that King Uzziah died, I saw the Lord. I've shared before that King Uzziah was such an outsized figure in the life of Judah that many had a hard time seeing. Yahweh because Uzziah was such a prominent figure. He led massive military conquests for Judah, massive capital campaigns that the nation was its well, almost its wealthiest next to Solomon under Uzziah.

  4. 6:49

    It was more wealthy even under Uzziah than it was under David. And so that is a part of the backdrop we know often about the boy King Josiah who became a king of Judah when he was eight. King Oziah is another boy King who became King when he was 16 years old. All right. And when he was young, the scripture tells us this, he had humility about him. He was small in his own eyes, which I don't know what comes next if you know the scripture, but when he was strong, his life took a different course. We're going to look into that today. First Chronicles, sorry, second Chronicles 26 verse 12. I'm going to pick up at verse 12. The total number of the heads of the households of valiant warriors was 2,600. Under their direction was an elite army of 307,500 who could wage war with great power to help the king against the enemy. Moreover, Uzziah prepared for all the army's shields, spears, helmets, body armor, bows, and sling stones. In Jerusalem, check this out. Jerusalem, he made engines of war. Some translations there say machines of war, invented by skillful men to be on the towers and on the corners for the purpose of shooting arrows in great stones. His fame spread afar, for he was marvellously helped until he was strong. But when he became strong, his heart was so proud that that he acted corruptly and he was unfaithful to the Lord his God, for he entered the temple of the Lord to burn in sense on the altar of incense. Then as a ride the priest entered after him and with him eighty priests of the Lord, valiant men, they opposed us either King said to him, it is not for you who's I to burn incense to the Lord. But for the priest, the sons of Aaron who are consecrated to burn incense, get out of the sanctuary, for you have been unfaithful and will have no honor from the Lord God.

  5. 8:55

    But Uzziah with the center in his hand for burning incense was enraged. And while he was enraged with the priests, the leprosy broke out on his forehead before the priests in the house of the Lord beside the altar of incense. As Ariah the chief priest and all the priests looked at him and behold he was lepros on his forehead and they hurried him out of there and he himself also hastened to get out because the Lord had smitten him. This is what I want to present to you. Zaya when he was young, was dependent upon the Lord, the Lord, as the scripture says, helped him marvelously. He presided over massive military campaigns, presided over massive capital campaigns in the nation of Judah, building a transcendent structure. You know, as the scripture says he presided over massive, a military innovation. They not only had had a abundant weaponry, but under his reign, they were able to invent new methods of prosecuting warfare. They were technologically advanced in comparison to the world around him, in all of this abundance, in all of this wealth, in all of this prosperity, in all of this favor, Uzziah misinterpreted it. Uzziah lost sight of the fact that God is the one from whom, as the Apostle James explains, all good and perfect gifts flow from. And he allowed pride to settle in his heart and his misinterpret his misinterpretation of God's provision led him to act in an untoward manner, act in an untoward manner to where he even sought to corrupt the priesthood in Judah. The reason why I'm bringing this to you attention because this is a biblical account of a blessing me in misinterpretation. I have great concern that there are some among us who are misinterpreting the mercy that God has shown our nation in this most recent election, misinterpreting it. You know, I'm seeing some with this is all jubilation with no sobriety. And I'm not trying to put a wet blanket on anybody. I understand the jubilation, you know, you might have caught me in November 6 hitting a little, you know, but the sobriety is necessary because We need to understand the mercy of God that was bestowed upon us and also understand that God grants his mercy purposefully.

  6. 11:31

    And if we do not properly appreciate the moment that we're in, we very well, similar to Isaiah, may misconstrued this grant of mercy and allow things to persist. I mentioned before at the exact same time, you have states like Florida who went red, voted for President Trump. forget that you also had the unfettered slaughter of unborn children on the exact same ballot. And let me let you in on this, the same state that vote for President Trump went red, 56% of Floridians voted for President Trump. But guess what? Though amendment four failed in Florida, 57% plus percent of Floridians voted to amend their Constitution to protect the unfettered slaughter of the innocence all the way up to the 40th week of gestation. Guys, there is much to be done. I've explained it before and I'm going to say it again. God has granted our nation a reprieve. That's a respite. That's not total and complete re-establishment of what truly makes a nation great. A booming stock market doesn't make a nation great. Tax cuts do not make a nation great. Having a well protected border. So unless I want the border, shut down that poor as border. But those things do not make a nation great. The scripture tells us what makes a nation great. And I am concerned that in this process, we're also facing a practical redefinition of conservatism being fused kinda with a godless populism that will have people being willing to, eh, the stuff that God cares about, I don't really care about. And let's be clear, God cares about everything. But as many of you heard last week my conversation with Tim Barton, George Washington in his farewell address laid out a bunch of things about this American Republic that are important.

  7. 13:35

    That's important, yes, they're important. But there are two things he said that are indispensable supports. Indispensable supports. These are indispensable components of the foundation. And if you move any one of them, the structure will crumble. A lot of people have looked at some of the things, man, America's turn this way. Our country is going this way. Even President Trump was saying we are failing nation, but they don't go far enough to identify and diagnose why. George Washington said, religion and morality are indispensable supports. The scripture tells us righteousness, exultination, sinners are approached to any people. So I want to caution us while we celebrate, let's make sure we understand what we're celebrating. It's not just a vaunted, pomp and circumstance parade, it is the mercies of God that says, you guys were headed to the brink And our whole, woah, kimosabi, I won't let you go off just yet. But he gave us this reprieve so that we can properly understand it and respond accordingly. Much of what has transpired hollowing out the core of the conscious of the American populace is because we have not made disciples. Job number one must be disciple making as we take full advantage of the mercy of God in this reprieve he's granted our land. Shining light into the darkness. This is the Hamilton Corner, an American family radio. Welcome back to the Hamilton Corner, Abraham Hamilton, III here. I truly pray that the Lord will cause what I was just talking about to settle in on us because there's lots of work to be done. The electoral processes weren't the end of anything. It was a Lord giving us an opportunity for a new beginning, You know, and that beginning includes a cultivating a culture that understands why life is precious.

  8. 15:38

    You know, it includes a culture that understands, you know, and I try to use this analogy because there are some people who conflate, you know, civic affairs with things like taxation and and and wanting to be secure in your private property. But why is it wrong for have the forceful confiscation of your of your wealth? You know, why is that wrong? All policy prescriptions are undergirded by foundational determination of right versus wrong. Otherwise known as morality. That's just an inescapable truth, it's an inescapable truth. And we have to understand and embrace it and advocate for it very simply as we rejoice in the Lord's mercy. Now, you know, this story just made me sad. And I remember when this came out, I'm not gonna spend a whole lot of time here. But when early reports were made, that even in disaster recovery, people were allowing partisanship to overwhelm them. I can't tell you the number of screams I've seen, that if your family votes this way, you shouldn't even have them over for Thanksgiving. Man, listen, don't allow your family to be destroyed over politics. That's insane. And all these people being hyperbolic, they've had for the last several years. Trump is not seeing and then you have Joe Biden welcome down to the White House No, none of these pundits are talking about him being hit us up now. They actually well That was a little you'd rhetoric and they're walking us up back And these from the same people that lied to us about all kind of other things No, this is a pandemic of the facts unvaccinated Okay Joe Biden is as fit as a fiddle. He says he's the best he's ever been and then next day Can I can't believe it?

  9. 17:38

    I won't believe it, I can't believe it, you'll buy it and cannot complete this sentence man. The same people. Man, don't let these folks divide your families. Love your family. That doesn't mean passively accept everything you have to offer. No, but you can be respectable, respectful, I'm sorry, respectful and loving. Don't allow this stuff to divide your families. Many people are divided because frankly they've been listening to lies. The story I was getting to is this this this deal with this uh, I have our name right here Let me get to it this fema official Marney Washington You know in florida literally put it in a directive in writing instructing fema employees If there are any homes in florida after the hurricane sitting floor any homes that have any advertisement of trump don't help them That's crazy People reporting and oh there's no way this is happening and then there you go They really wire finds the memo and now females fired this lady Marney Washington terminated because she's using partisanship to determine whether or not she's gonna help people after a hurricane That's just sick man. That's just sick If I it really really sends me that there are people that are that willing to be Vehicles of evil because that's what that is all right couple things and look I'm just the messenger And I stand by what I say we shall we must not misinterpret God's mercy It's also interesting to see how certain things just seem to happen within the first 72 hours after President Trump Was formally announced to the world as not only 45th but the 47th President of the United States and and I want to give these to you with the receipts because I don't want anybody saying, really, it's for you.

  10. 20:01

    I don't want anybody telling you, ah, where did you hear that? That's not true. Let's first toggle over to the European Union. All right. Now, many of you may recall and I've said, shared this on this program under President Trump, the United States of America became a net exporter of resources, including liquid natural gas. One of the things that we have by God's grace in our nation, a significant supply of I and many others have said, why are we important? What we're importing? Why? Why do we have such an imbalance of imports and exports, particularly as as it pertains to what they call fossil fuels, Ursula von der Leyen, von der Leyen, however you say her last name. is the president of the European Union Commission. The day after President Trump is elected, she had an announcement. You know what this announcement is, Bobby? You don't know it. Okay. She had an announcement and I announced her sounding something like this, of course, with her European accent, but I'm a translator for y'all. You know, I've been thinking, I've been thinking about something, Jeff. You know, we get this stuff called liquid natural gas. Why are we still buying this from Russia? We probably don't need to buy any of this stuff from Russia. We should probably start buying our liquid natural gas from America. You know, costless, which will bring our energy prices down, which will be better for our economy. Well, man, wonder what made us start having that thought process that she didn't have before President Trump's election. But now all of a sudden, she's saying, you know what? should consider buying our natural gas from the United States of America.

  11. 22:02

    Listen to and watch clip number one. Go. I would not say discuss but we talked about yesterday. It's the whole topic of LNG. We still get a lot of LNG via Russia from Russia. And why not replace it by American LNG, which is cheaper for us and brings down our energy prices. But it's something where we can get into a discussion, also what our trade deficit is concerned. So engage, look at common interest, and then negotiate. incidents? Well maybe the A-B you know it's just a one-off. Surely nothing else is happening in the world. Well a lot of things just seem to be happening so the European Union all of a sudden they want to talk about buying gas from America. Oh and specifically no longer buying it from Russia well what else might be happening? Well yeah not too much except now I'm gonna give you all the details it is. Guitar, all of a sudden, coincidentally, reports began to surface. That guitar has agreed to kick Hamas leaders out of their country. Yes. Guitar has said, you know, see the thing is, it's not you, it's me. You know, we don't want you guys here any longer.

  12. 24:02

    And it just so happened that these reports began to surface within hours of President Trump getting elected. Listen to and watch clip number two go. Qatar reportedly agreeing to oust Hamas from its country. Of course, it's been shielding many of the terrorist leaders and their money after a request from the U.S. due to the terror group's resistance to the ceasefire and release of hostages. deal now for 400 days. Huh? Now what do you know? Because it's not like the Qataris have been hosting the Hamas leadership in their nation and all their money for all this time. It's not like that's been happening. Or is it? Because the Qataris have been hosting Hamas leadership. Now I want to be fair. I want to be fair. You know, and notice the Qataris did so in response to a U.S. request. According to the reports, the US requested this several weeks ago. Several weeks ago. Wait, long before the election. Oh, yeah, long before the election. But you didn't see stories reporting the Qataris agreeing to do it until after Mr. Trump was elected again in the coincidence. Now I want to be clear. Hamas spokesperson has heard about these reports and said, this is not true. Qatar isn't kicking us out yet. The reports are even more detailed that this is due to the lack of movement by Hamas leadership to bring the war with Israel to an end and to embrace the release of hostages, how they have American hostages. And they've had American hostages since, I don't know, October 7th of 2023. I didn't really hear anything about Qatar kicking Hamas out of the country.

  13. 26:04

    But Mr. Trump is elected and then all of a sudden, news at 10, Qatar agrees to kick Hamas leadership out of their country pursuant to US request. Now, I'm not saying they did it because President Trump was elected. But can I say it, it don't have anything to do with it? So let's just see if the European Union wants to buy American liquid natural gas and Qatar is kicking Hamas out. Now, when do you think I was happening? And all of a sudden Vladimir Putin is willing to talk about bringing the Ukrainian war to an end. And the exact quote includes Vladimir Putin saying, well, let me say it this way. Quote, in reference to President Trump, Vladimir Putin says he, referring to Trump, behaved in my opinion in a very correct way, courageously like a real man. End quote. Talk about after you guys shot. And he said, then he continued, quote, what was said about the desire to bring about the end of the Ukrainian crisis, in my opinion, this deserves attention. Oh, end quote. Well, he didn't say the whole was mine. He didn't say, ah, that was me. That wasn't in the quote. It's amazing. Now all of a sudden, and so you just the same Vladimir Putin. Then let me see two, three, character one, Barack Obama's in office and rest to take primeo. Let me add, let me get that out to chief. President Trump is in office. And you can hear a rodent Mictorating on cotton Don't go and look that one up. Then mr. J. Robin that shows up then his full-on invasion of Ukraine interesting now But then I was a president Trump's election Vladimir Putin is saying what was said About the desire to bring an into the Ukrainian crisis in my opinion deserves attention So let me see what's the score by me? So you're being you wants to buy a liquid natural gas from us and not Russia Huh.

  14. 28:27

    Qatar wants to kick Hamas leaders out of the country. And at the same time, the European Union is saying, we're going to switch potentially, of course, let me, we don't want to be over, we don't want to be too potentially switch their natural gas purchases from Russia to the United States of America, because it's cheaper. Bring our energy prices down. And that's in. Oh, all this guys is within 72 hours, by the way, of the November 60 election. All right. Is that? You know what? Even more things happen. And there's something, I don't even know if I have time to share this with you guys before we go to the break. Maybe we do. The former sanctuary city, New York, Mayor Eric Adams had an announcement to make within hours of President Trump's reelection. Let me just see, let's see what it says. Click number three. Watch this and listen, go. city is ending as controversial program that gives debit cards to migrants. The city has now spent $3.6 million on those debit cards for about 2,600 migrant families who are staying in shelters without kitchen access. Now the mayor's office says that when the program finishes at the end of the year, they will go back to providing those migrants boxed meals. I am worried about these families because we're gonna go right back to where we were in the beginning where families used to come to me and say, I'm getting frozen meals at the shelters. I'm getting these boxed meals with just crackers and sandwiches and this is all I'm getting. The debit cards were provided by the company Mobility Capital Finance through a no-bid contract. So Mobility Capital Finance had a contract with the City of New York, which by the way, the contract was a $53 million contract, you see. And it was the financial partner that provided illegal immigrants in New York City with preloaded debit cards where they had bi-weekly deposits depending on family sizes of no less than $350 a week.

  15. 30:39

    Families sizes reaching up to eight members in a family got as much as $2,203 per week. The debit cards were supposed to be used for the illegal immigrants to buy groceries in New York City. And it just so happened within hours of President Trump's election that New York City, Mayor Eric Adams, announced the termination of this program. Now I want to be fair, the program was created by contract and the contract was set to expire in January. But the contract was expected to have the potential to be renewed. But within hours of President Trump's reelection, Mayor Eric Adams decided we're not going to to renew this program. Huh? What's that on the scoreboard Bobby? You're in European Union. Qatar kicking out Hamas. Russia wants to talk about ending the Ukrainian war in New York City is no longer given prepaid groceries, prepaid debit cards for groceries to illegal aliens within hours after the election. The Hamilton Quarter podcast and one-minute Common Terrence are available at aFR.net back to the Hamilton Corner on American Family Radio. Welcome back to the Hamilton Corner. Oh, oh, y'all thought I was, oh no, no, no, no. There's still more things. This is all within the first 72 hours after election, guys, after the election. And I'm just sharing this again. I'm not saying there's a direct line of cause and effect, but I am just saying it is interesting that all of these things have happened. Things have not been happening that just seem to happen. Here's another one. You're ready for this one? But then hours of President Trump's election, the stock market went through the roof.

  16. 32:44

    Listen to and watch this. Clip number four. 1,200 points on the Dow Jones industrial average. That's, we're looking at record highs and all these major averages. That's a big move. And when you look at smaller cap stocks, they're even doing better than that. Because the idea here is that second Trump administration would wipe away an awful lot of regulations, regulations that cost small business money. So that's what the going thinking is here this morning on that also perhaps corporate tax cuts and tax cuts That's one reason why you're gonna see the banks go up here. You're seeing Tesla. That's Elon Musk Donald Trump's good friend His company is soaring today about 13% the idea that Donald Trump is not a friend of subsidies and investments in green energy So if he undoes that that's actually good for the big player that is Elon Musk Interesting now that one was a little bit more predictable because many in the financial markets, you know Well, that's something that has tended to happen, but I'm talking about not only that it occurred, but the height of the spike, if you will. I was like, man, these guys, very interesting. And then, I don't want you to forget this, but, and I didn't talk about this as much as I probably needed to, but I was talking more about the election, but there was a migrant caravan that had developed that had accumulated thousands of people traveling Northward through Mexico heading toward our southern border, but within hours of President Trump's election, the migrant caravan in Mexico dissipated. Huh. Listen to and watch clip number five. Go. And now shifting focus to the southern border with Mexico, where hundreds of migrants are abandoning their journey towards the United States. The caravan which began earlier this week with around 3,000 migrants has now dwindled to just half after Donald Trump won re-election.

  17. 34:47

    We wanted to get to the United States. Now that Trump won, we do not know what to do. Maybe God's will, since we are taking this course that we have to arrive, even if it is to knock on the door to see if they open it for us. I don't know what to do anymore, because we left a very terrible regime, returning to Venezuela is like being shot in the head. Now I want to be clear about something. My heart breaks for people whose home country is so impoverished or so in the instances where it is violence, is so violent that they have to leave there to try to go elsewhere. But remember President Trump's remaining Mexico policy required those who were legitimately seeking asylum have to make that application within the next safest country. You can't travel through and many of the those caravan components according to reports included Guadalmala and Venezuela. They're going through Mexico and we should have a conversation about why Mexico is like you can't stop here. You know, and I understand that people don't take that trick casually. You know, I got a daughter. I'm looking at this man on the screen with his daughter. daughters, my heart breaks for them. Well, at the same time, we cannot take in the world's poor. And if we're going to be a nation that absorbs people who legitimately pursue asylum, we have to have a legal process. We can't have people overrunning and overwhelming our border, you know? So the question should be presented. And obviously, the answer I should say is pretty obvious. People traveling to the United States, they're paying attention to the elections. If There's a Biden, Kamala Obama, see, there's a Trump, no Biden, Kamala Biden, see, let's go. Vamos Trump, no, there's a woman I was interviewed by Reuters.

  18. 36:52

    Her name was Valerie Andrade of Venezuelan migrant. She told a reporter, quote, I had hoped she told her in Spanish. So this is translated into into into English. I had hoped Kamala Harris would win, but that didn't happen. End quote. He was going to be, why did you hold camel hairs with win? Venezuela migrant, Jelly Mar who didn't want to give his last name, because he's still going to try to come, you know, he said, quote, I remain hopeful that I get to keep my appointment in America, that I made through the CBP one app. I'm hoping to get in the country before Trump comes into office in January. Guys, this is crazy. This is crazy. And the thing always, America has always been the nation of immigrants. You won't find any Americans. Or if you do, you find very few who are on the far margins of society, you won't find any Americans who would say that we shouldn't have a legal immigration process. The problem is twofold. We have been overwhelmed by illegal immigration. So before we can even have a recalibration of the legal immigration process, we have to stop the overrunning of illegal immigration. We have to get rid of, and this makes people nervous, But we have to deport the people who have broken our laws to come here in the first place. And they thought Trump was playing about his deportation plan, but you see Tom Holman is back. Oh, oh, oh, oh, oh, oh, oh, oh. Tom Holman ain't playing with you, who has made the new border, is in charge of the border. Then the other thing is, and you've heard me reporting this program, that you have people coming into our country from our southern border, that are Russian, that are Ukrainian, that are Chinese, that are Iranian, that are Afghani, Afghanistan, they're getting here.

  19. 38:58

    You know, the whistle's been blown on the fact that you have the United Nations coordinating with these people as well as the Democrat party coordinating with these people to overrun our southern border. And the American people say, no, we don't want any more of these. So I just wanted to get, guys, there are more things. I just wanted to give you, those are a few of the things that happened within hours of President Trump's election. these are things that I'm encouraged by. But as David Wheaton said during the break, I'm grateful for civic policies, but there's only one in whom salvation comes. And with the mercy it got bestowed upon us, we have to confront the fact that there has been a hollowing out of our nation in the hearts of who we are, not just on a periphery with civic policies. I've been warning that 2024 could be to America, America with 1998 was the Venezuela by God's grace. It is not. Thanks be to God. But we cannot misinterpret what is happening here. I also think it's appropriate that here we are today on the day when our nation is honoring veterans for our nation. Thank you to every single veteran for your service to our nation. The words have been frankly ring true in my heart. just as if I was there when he uttered them the first time when he was asked leaving Independence Hall in Philadelphia, Philadelphia, whatever you wrought, oh Benjamin, his response, a republic if you can keep it, if you can keep it. The reality is this experiment in individual liberty, this American constitutional republican form of government is only effective when you have a people who have an internal metric of self-governance. That self-governance, the Bible reveals, is provided to us as a fruit of His Spirit. Self-control is a fruit of His Spirit. When you see the fruit of His Spirit in dwelling us, when you see a concerted effort in our nation to cast off our forms of governance, to cast off our historical moorings.

  20. 41:32

    And I'm not talking about lies, I'm talking about truth. It is because there is a fura within our nation to jettison what we have been and to make us something entirely different and foreign from what we have been. There has never been a time in American history when our nation has been perfect. Our founders were flawed. This is why I've always said we should honor the Lord for what he's done through our founders, that we do not deify our founders however. We reflect on what God has done through them. He is a master at using crooked sticks to paint straight lines, but our founders knew that they were not perfect, which is why our preamble says, in order to form a more perfect union, that the union should increase with quality over time. That is what the founders desired. And for those who would try to say that there was nothing unique about America's finding. You tell me why there's never been a United States of America anywhere else in the world. You answer that one for me. You tell me why. There's no other nation like our nation in the rest of the world. People risk life and limb to get here. Why? It's untrue when those who attempt to conceal and lie distort our history because they're endeavoring to jettison what we are and what we have been in order for us to become something different, far into what we are and far into what we have been. The reason for that, John Adams, George Washington already told us, this nation is only efficacious for the governance of a religious and moral people. It is inadequate for any other. So if we want to respond to Benjamin Franklin's if you can keep it. We can't allow ourselves to devolve into some godless populism.

  21. 43:41

    We cannot allow ourselves to embrace a new vote conservatism to where sexual immorality is just as welcomed as fiscal irresponsibility. We cannot reject the Biblical truth and expect, no pun intended, to make America great. America never, America can never be great if we reject biblical truth. Can't happen. Cannot happen. Now I don't care who you are. I will say this to Mr. Trump to his face and he probably would agree with me, but he will also need as a desire had, cause notice when I got lost in the sauce, he didn't decide himself. Hey, you know what? I realize I've exceeded my jurisdiction. No, it took 80 strong preach led by Azariah. Say, man, you exceeded your violence, chief. You won't get any honor from the Lord for this. And the Scriptures' intention about saying the priests were valiant men. I want to remind you in Scripture when valor is employed, valor is not just courage, valor is courage in battle. Say it in a different way. The priest was about that action. Say something if you want, but you get not out of here. They kicked the king out of the temple. What I'm saying, God has said in His Word that He's invested to this church to be the pillar and ground of truth. The Lord's bride cannot be feckless and toothless and spineless if we are truly going to have a great nation. There must be an urgency to be about our father's business. And I would just point out to you on the civic side, what President Trump's mandate must be employed in these next two years. You don't have time to ramp up because there's another election in the US Senate, The full third of the Senate will be up for election in 2026.

  22. 45:52

    This time it will be a third of Republican seats that will be, will have incumbents in them. So the same switching of the majority in the Senate, the same thing could happen in 2026. You see this fight in the US Senate right now and so who will be the majority leader? I want to remind everybody, Mitch McConnell opposed President Trump's agenda agenda in 2016. I don't know if people don't like to talk about that, but he did. Two out of three people up for Senate Majority Leadership are descended, I'm not descended, it's disciples of Mitch McConnell. The last few moments I'm going to say, we have not any anything. We've been ushered into a new beginning for our nation. If you thought prayer was needed to get through Election Day, buckle your seat nubs. We must, we must, we must be on our faces, crying out to the Lord for our nation. as we get up from off of our faces, put feet to pavement and executing what he calls us to. You've heard me say numerous times and I'll say it here again, worship is not limited to an activity. Worship is a lifestyle. The pinnacle of the lifestyle of worship is obedience. As I said before, now we're post-election. What is your vision? Post-election. As Tim said when he was on the program, What needs to happen is everybody needs to carton off our own yard and put brick by brick by brick where we are. But by God's grace, He's granted us mercy for a new beginning.
